THERE is an old proverb about tax
ing time by the forelock. A country
or a man can only succeed if either
be ready to take a chance when it
comes. We in Hawaii are on the
point of getting our chance but we
are by no means as ready to seize
upon it as we should have been. Great
natural advantages, such as an exu
berant soil, or commanding position
on the worlds highways are a long
pull in the race of commercial pros
perity, but they are nothing unless
they are used to the best purpose by
the people who occupy the countries,
just as great natural gifts and splen-
did ability are often valUeless in men
because they are too lazy or too care
less to cultivate them to proper ad
vantage.
A glance at the map of Europe OF
that of Central America will satisfy
any one of the truth of these remarks.
Turkey is one of the most fertile
countries on the face of the earth, the
position of Constantinople is one OF
the most commanding upon the globe,
and yet Turkey is one of the most i'm
poverished of States, simply because
its government is execrably bad and
has spent in pomp and vain show
what ought to have been spent in de
veloping its resources. The same
holds good of the Central American
Republics, which might have been
most prosperous communities had
they had anything worthy the name
of government to develop their natu
raj advantages. Hawaii is in some
what similar plight. At this present
moment she ought to be ready to seize
upon her chance and she Is not ready.
The Canadian Pacific Railway being
completed, a line of steamers, the
largest among the Cunarders is to be
put on to run between Yancouver's
Island and Australia. Those steamers
ought to touch here, and should find
convenient harbor to coal at. Fifty
or hundred thousand dollars spent
in dredging the harbor and preparing
for this event during the past three
or four years would have put us in
the position of at once beneftting by
the new order of things. Now we
shall not be able to do so at once and
the chances are that we may lose our
chance altogether.
Itcannot be said that we have lacked
money. Money has been squandered
upon all kinds of folly and vanity,
upon a coronation, upon military dis
play, upon foreign missions to satisfy
an egregious vanity, thrown away
upon genealogy boards, upon a two
penny halfpenny man-of-war and hea-
ven only knows what besides. The
treasury has had the money, but the
Government have grievously mis-
spent it.
At the end of our season of pros
perity we stand with our harbor in a
worse condition than is was ten years
ago. Far from making improvements
money has been stinted to keep the
harbor even moderately decent.
Would this have been the case had
we had such man as S. G. Wilder at
the head of our affairs instead of W.
III. Gibson. Most emphatically no!
The clear business head Of the former
would have foreseen what our wants
would be. Instead of load of debt

l sauntered down to the NavyYard in COM
pany with Admiral Grisley on Thursday, and
while the Admiral was explaining to me the
design of the new navy fiag-a gin bottle
with corkscrew and glass on either side-the
Bo'sun came up and addressed the Admit
raj in rude and uncerimOniOus manner, at
the same time intimating that he would "put
a head on the Admiral which would make
him Hook sick" The Admiral tried to rea-
son with the Bo'sun, but it was no use, the
latter just sailed in, regardless of the Mar
quis of Queensbury rules, and planted his
fist neatly on the Admirals tin ear in the
most beautiful manner. This was more than

ions, and that Bo'sun waltzed round him
like rooster out for holiday, "plugging'
the Admiral right and left, while the latter
endeavored to defend himself by making
flank movement with his umbrella-but it was
no use, the Bo'sun had confscated the con-
tents of one of the guns "a big Gin bottle)
and was in good fighting trim, and could
clean out raft of Admirals. Oh, you ought
to have seen poor Grisley, after the fun was
over-he looked as if he had been to tea
party and two lHaHs all at once, and was com
pletely broken up in body and spirit. Just
then lonely policeman hove in sight. pick
ing his teeth, and walked the Bo'sun off to the
Hotel de Crabbe, and put him in a secluded
retreat where he could, at his leisure, reflect
on the henious offence of striking the Rear
Admiral of the Fleet-the punishment for
which will probably be to degrade him to the
rank of Governor of Nihoa, and it will serve
him we'll right, too. You bet just came down
quietly and after brushing the dust off from
Grisley, went whlstling over to the Fish Mar

and nothing to show for it, we would
have had a loan long ago that would
have been spent in practical improve
ments which would now be turning in
a profit to the country.
OF course we shall have to turn to and
put our harbor in order now, but we
have lost most valuable time in setting
about it. and what might have been
done in leisurely manner and to the
greatest advantage, will now have to
be hastily done, and consequently at
greater expense. The policy of the
present head of the Government has
ever been opposed to practical i'm
provement. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Gibson was strong oppo-
nent of the Marine Railway and yet
the Marine Railway is one of the best
things that has been added for the
accommodation of shipping at this
port.
While gazing at probable Panama
Canal the present Hawaiian Govern
ment have neglected q source of pros
perity which was coming to their very
doors. Great things are to be done
with the London loan, but practical
things might have been done with the
means at our disposal.

the most pressing claims and we would
suggest that beginning be at once
made to improve the streets Of Homo
lulu and the roads of the Kingdom,
and that the harbor be dredged and
new wharves be contracted for and

the money, but it could be put to no

My old friend Ned who is doing the nifty

rathes depressed spirit. He gave a banquet
TO Mistletoe and opened out about % cases
of the champagne, but Ned says better have
brought gin, old NJ. likes square face and as
for the German King he's death on Schiedam.
Ned says he can see most of the Samoan
Ministers under the table, but that there is
one Irishman who is a match for any Ha-
waiian he ever saw. Wheelbarrows were
ordered for 11:30 p. m. Mistletoe was mad
der than a wet hen because that carriage
hadn't come. "Whas use champail" says
he, leaning his very broad back against
the door jamb "whas use'll champail, no cal
lege (hicl take fellerome." Ned did quite a
stroke in diplomacy that evening and took
notes, but the next morning he found that
he had clean forgotten the system of short
hand he used. Ned writes that he has cut
the old man fancy picture of the affair
which we shall see in the government paper.
He has also scooped up the diplomacy from
memory. It's a cold day when Ned gets left,

1 guess the Conundrum will have to put to
sea directly. The Hawaiian Minister and
Envoy Extraordinary has been insulted by
some one in Samoa. Ned was stopping at
the Hotel, but the German boys got reused
and sampled the small stores. and made
things so lively that Ned had to up stick and
dust he was glad to get into Samoan
house, you bet. Poor Ned-Im sorry for
him. He was frst-rate chap, he was, when
he and Bliff worked at the case together, and
its too bad for him to be hauled about from
pillar to post and 1un out of his hotel in this
way. Now's the time to nail the bowsprit to
the masthead, hoist the keel on deck, turn
up the headlights, and let loose the flying
smoke-stack. Gosh won't Admiral Grisley
look bully in his new uniform, corkscrews and
